Update for 2024: Actually, doing more than dabbling now. FAWM has been life-changing. Having some limited "success" on SPOTIFY with some of my songs. Have a good FAWM folks!

Update for 2023: So far, covid-free...BUT got that darned RSV thing and it has hung around for the last 6 weeks or so, so don't expect my vocals to be quite as...mellifluous.

Update for 2022: I'm still alive! "Heartbreak is my brand™"

Update for 2021: Had a successful 50/90 (my second one completed!), so FAWM should be a piece of cake, right? Hope to stretch my wings genre-wise, per usual. Looking forward to listening to the rest of you.

Update for 2020: Health problems, including NO VOICE so far (writing this on 2/6). I've written lyrics for 6 songs while I wait to recover, so I THINK I'll eventually get my usual 14 in. Stay tuned...

Update for 2019: I'll be putting out my 3rd album (pop) shortly after FAWM 2019 closes, and a 4th (country) album later this year. Going to try and do about half my usual "country" fare this time around and half R&B. FAWM has been life-changing! Good luck to all!

UPDATE FOR 2018!! I have an album out now--all proceeds go to KIVA.org to provide microloans for educating women in developing countries.

Hey Jerry! Happy FAWMing! Looking forward to hearing what you come up with this time around. I generally agree with your post re: AI but I didn't say so on that thread because I'm trying to mostly avoid the forums this time around. Plus I didn't want those torches and pitchforks aimed at me! :D

Hi Jerry,
Good to see you on here. Have a great FAWM.
Great comments on the noAI thread by the way. I'm probably going to reserve using it for 50 90 but it's a great tool for lyricists especially. I think it eventually will be a way to pass a demo to real songwriters to give them an 'idea' of how the song could sound - much better than instances where musicians have asked if I could do a rough sung melody! But it also is a good way to work on drafts of lyrics. You put your 1st draft it and hearing it with music helps you spot bits that aren't great or gives ideas for things to add

Hi Jerry! I just wanted to drop a note to say that I agree with you that AI, although it can definitely be destructive and raises a host of real issues and problems, also can be a useful songwriting tool and that, even if one chooses not to use it (which is an entirely valid choice!), I also don't understand the extreme hate that a lot of people seem to express. Thanks for writing such an articulate post!

(I would have posted in the forum thread you were writing in rather than here, but the original thread poster has asked everyone not to derail their thread by starting a debate, so out of respect for that request I decided to just post here.)
